TV B Gone is a hardware project that sends IR 'Power' commands to turn off televisions.

TVBG codes only have Power commands, when selected they will only send the Power commands regardless of which command type you have selected.

--- Required! ---You MUST have the built in IR device for this software to work. (IR Blaster)

Samsung devices with Android 4.4 and higher AND the IR blaster like the S5, S4, S4 Mini, Galaxy Tab 2, Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy MEGA, will work like it has.

This is working with the HTC One m7 and m8 (now including stock Lollipop)Also working the the LG G3 (Stock Firmware only)

This will NOT work with the S2, S3, or the Note 2.Also the clone (or 'fake') Note3 does not work, the IR module is different.

Also, I can not guarantee compatibility with aftermarket ROMS on your device, problems with aftermarket ROMS should be addressed by your ROM creator.

---Next Goal(s)----Fix compatibility issues with Lucky Patcher

---Device Information---Currently tested on Samsung Galaxy Tab2 tablets, and Samsung S4, and S5 phones, and Note 3 but should work with Samsung devices with android 4.0 and higher that have the built in IR transmitter. Currently tested with HTC One (m7 & m8)Currently tested with LG G3 (Stock Firmware)

---Compatibility---Incompatible with 'Lucky Patch'Some users report this app is not compatible if you are using CyanogenMod depending on phone, and version.I've been told this did NOT work with the 'Fake Samsung Galaxy Note 3' device.Currently it is not working with LG G2, MOTOROLA, and SONY devices.This is not working with the LG G2 even with Official Firmware at Android 4.4 This is still not working with Sony or Motorola devices, I don't know if or when I can correct this.

---Support---Please let us know if you have any problems before leaving negative feedback. We will try to work out any issues. If your TV does not work with this application, please include the make and model of the television so we can research the correct power command for your device.Contact: bwareapps@gmail.com

Not very stealthy I have a Galaxy S6 edge and it VERY rapidly flashes the bright blue notification light the entire time it's sending codes. My very stealthy at all! Can we get an update to temporarily disable the notification light while it's sending codes?

Sorry,
No, The flashing light is added by samsung on your device and not controlled by my app.
You might be able to set in your settings the light functions for notifications.
I've tested this on my S4, And even turning off all notifications still blinks the light on IR.

I have not been able to reproduce your problem on any of my devices.
Can you send me more specifics about your device, I see it is the S5, but what Android version specifically? Can you go to the settings menu and send me the device information with a short description of the problem? Thanks.

Does what it says and more. Pretty quick and keeps you informed about what is doing. What I wasn't expecting was the options to mute or change channels and volume. Unfortunately as one reviewer mentioned, the LED in Samsung devices blink like crazy - if the Dev can get around that or provide instructions to disable, five stars.

Awesome I had already bought a IR blaster app on the market, but when I read the description and saw this was inspired by Adafruit's TV-B Gone. I had to get it. Huge fan of adafruit, and actually I did the adafruit project mentioned myself around a year ago. Keep up the good work!

Works on every tv I have tried. After trying many times to get a similar app to work. I purchased this one. It has worked perfectly every time, on every tv I have tried (including a trip to walmart). It works in seconds if you select the tv brand. I'm quite pleased with this app.

Doesn't work anymore. Edit: No longer works on mu GS5. I have bought this app and it says the error: "App not compatible with lucky patcher." //It does everything I need it to... But maybe make a stealth option where its disguised as a calculator or something. Also: some projectors need the code sent twice to shut off.//

Yes, as listed in my description, due to overwhelming software piracy, I have had to block the app from running on devices that use Lucky patcher.
I have not found a better way (yet) to block piracy and allow my app to run correctly.

Best money I ever spent on an app I was trying to have lunch at Burger King while the TV was blaring with some stupid infomercial. I tap a button on my phone, and a few seconds later, blissful silence.

Thank you for the review.
There is nothing I can do about the range. I can only ask Android to send the codes, there is no option for me to change the power output.
If the Sharp tv is important to you, I can try to find the correct code if you can get me the model number.

It works, but...Update... Just as described: It work's. Test taken on a Samsung galaxy s5 Active phone. Update- One annoying fact: In stealth mode, the notification led still blinks with every sent code. Thus stealth mode is obviously not stealthy at all.

Fantastic for business travel Stuck in an airport gate area and the tv is tuned to right/left wing non-news stations at a volume thats unnecessary? Just figure out the brand of TV and its GONE. One caveat, range isn't great (Galaxy S5); you'll need to get reasonably close to the TV to send signal. Otherwise, works as advertised.

How Cool Is This?! Wow, this works so great on my HTC M7! How cool is it to turn of those annoying TV's in a club when a band is playing! Never again will I have to get my attention ripped off by stupid ads or distracting audio when trying to dig the band. Thanks so much! Add a 'pro version' and I'll buy it in a heat beat!

Yes, I've added in Dynex, and Haier to my code list to add.
I agree with your LG situation, but it appears on my tests that some LG volume and mute commands are menu commands on other LG models, so I can't fix menu issues without removing some of the current commands. I'm checking for solutions.
Working on these codes today.
Thank you.

Will give 5 stars when developers take some pride in their work I asked in old review that the developer make a 1x1 widget. They did, but it was not usable, poorly done, and looked like crap too. Then the developer replies back, "waiting for my 5 stars". I couldn't do better myself but, if I did shotty work I would be embarrassed to take my paycheck. I find reviews and paying for apps to be your form of a paycheck. Your app excluding the widgets is A+. Look over the 1x1 widget, do you find it to be in your standards?

I've already tried to meet your request, if it is this difficult to earn a better review from you, then you will never be satisfied.
What I won't do is have one customer demand to me what they want for a better review.
You like the app or you don't. If you believe a 1x1 widget is the difference between 1 and 5 stars, I guess it's 1.

Just the app I was looking for Not currently working on the LG G3 running CM11 but still gets 5 stars.
